One of the ways God makes us certain of His Light is by allowing us to test it in the darkness. But this darkness is not to be dreaded. It is the darkness God has created for His purposes.
"I form the light and create darkness" - Isaiah 45:7 God sometimes allows things to get very dark in our lives in order to grow us up and teach us about Himself. And some things that we accomplish in darkness cannot happen in any other setting.
This is not like the darkness of evil, which you can clearly sense. Or the darkness of our own disobedience, which we know in our hearts. This is a different kind of darkness, and God says there are treasures to be found there. "I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, who calls you by your name, am the God of Israel" - Isaiah 45:3
The treasure we find in the darkness is Him.
♥ Lessons hard to learn are sweet to know. Life is full of inconveniences, but God is working even though we sometimes can't see it at the moment. It is amazing how God uses you to bring Him glory when you allow Him too. I have seen God working so much in my life these past few weeks. Today, I'm praising God for what really matters. God's ways are not our ways. And sometimes in our greatest difficulties we find our greatest opportunities and blessed responsibilities. Be blessed and be a blessing! ♥
Blessings,
